LOS ANGELES AND EL SEGUNDO, CA — When a player scores his first National Hockey League goal, excitement extends from the ice to the players bench, into the stands, and even up to the press box, where the media are all abuzz, knowing how special a milestone this is for any player, and that it usually makes for a good story.

On the play, winger Jordan Nolan fought off a check in the left corner. Gaining separation from his man, he spun, and passed across the low slot to Andreoff, who was parked below the right circle for a tap-in goal.

“I saw Nolan win a battle in the corner there, and he’s a good playmaker, so I knew he’d either put it in, or give it to me, and he gave it to me for a back door tap-in,” said Andreoff. “Nolan made a great play to me for a tap-in. I was happy that our line played well tonight.”

LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Kings family got a bit larger during the wee hours of the morning on March 14, 2015, when center Anze Kopitar and his wife, Ines, welcomed their first child into the world.

Ines Kopitar gave birth to their daughter, Neza (7-pounds, 2-ounces; pronounced NAY-zah), at 12:38 AM. Anze told reporters that baby and mother are doing just fine.

“We just had to tune our game up and make sure that everybody does their thing, work on special teams, use our forecheck and speed, and make sure that we work as five guys out there,” said left wing Marian Gaborik. “We have been doing that really well lately.”
